| Keeping up with Reggie and Kim at Sundance
Kardashian, of course, is among the first people you'd expect to find here. And she doesn't quite know what she's in for. Beyond the paparazzi who typically hound her and the unusually aggressive star-seekers -- one would later ask Kardashian to autograph photos from her Playboy spread -- many do-gooders are here to give celebrities a piece of their mind. And one such group is currently shouting and wagging posters of maimed animals at our ride. They are protesters for PETA. "Roll up the window!" yelps Kardashian, who is wearing a fur coat. .

Here's an email I sent to Mike Allen this morning:SUBJECT: Correction Needed Hey Mike - In your otherwise informative FISA article from over the weekend, there is a very significant and clear factual error. You say:"The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which governs surveillance of telephone calls and e-mail traffic of suspected terrorists, expires on Friday. After that, any monitoring that's currently authorized could continue, but no new surveillance could begin."This is fear-mongering propaganda from the White House but it is factually false. FISA does not expire on Friday. Only the Protect America Act, which amended FISA by increasing the President's powers, expires. FISA -- which was passed in 1977 and amended multiple times since, including after 9/11 -- continues in full force and effect even if the PAA expires.
McCain and Romney trade sharp attacks in Florida
Senator John McCain and Mitt Romney traded blistering attacks in Florida on Monday morning, a day before the state's Republican primary. Romney questioned McCain's commitment to conservatism, citing a series of bipartisan bills McCain sponsored with Senate Democrats, while McCain accused the former Massachusetts governor of flip-flopping on major issues. McCain, speaking at a shipyard in Jacksonville, swatted aside Romney's charge that he is a "liberal Democrat" by saying: "He is consistent. He has consistently taken both sides of every major issue. He has consistently flip flopped on every major issue." He cited Romney's support as governor for a regional greenhouse gas emissions control program, for a lenient policy toward illegal immigrants and for campaign finance revisions, all positions he has reversed as a presidential candidate.
